“It’s the trophy I haven’t won before… this is the one trophy a lot of our group haven’t ticked off.” – Pat Cummins on the eve of the 2024-25 Border-Gavaskar series in Australia

Coming into the 2024-25 summer of cricket, Australia stood as Australia stands as the undisputed titan of Test cricket but with one trophy that they were yet to tick off: the elusive Border-Gavaskar Trophy in India.

Chris Mcleod’s Pat Cummins: Mission Accomplished is the electrifying account that captures the golden era of Australian cricket under the leadership of Pat Cummins as they finally claim the coveted trophy in an emphatic 3-1 game for the first time in a decade.

This book is a vivid chronicle of Pat Cummins’ leadership as the Australians dominated, redeemed and powered against all odds to win the coveted trophies of the game.
